"A sublime ten track mini-album of five vocals
and their accompanying tasteful dubs reveals
IRIE TIME to be a skillful purveyor of jazz/pop-tinged
reggae, with flourishes of steel pan and
other surprising touches." -- Roger Steffens, The Beat

Details:
Inherent Music presents the highly anticipated,
and aptly titled, release of "Itâs About Time,"
the sixth CD from IRIE TIME, a band of culturally-diverse musicians delivering a vibrant and
unique combination of reggae, rock and jazz. The CD features all new songs from the group
and includes exciting Dub versions on the
same disc. IRIE TIME was recently hailed as
"one of Americaâs leading exponents of roots
rock reggae" by the international world music
publication The Beat magazine.

Irie (pronounced 'eye-ree') is a Jamaican patois
word that means 'feeling great', and IRIE TIMEâs
music has been described as "a blend of reggae,
soca and dub grooves that is just about as
refreshing as a bottle of Ting grapefruit soda on a
sweltering Trenchtown summer day." [The Houston
Press] Masterful instrumentation and strong
melodic composition combine with island rhythms to
give the band what can truly be called a world class
sound. Houston-based IRIE TIME has been
entertaining audiences for more than a decade. Tracks from the bandâs prior Island Romance CD
were recorded in Kingston, Jamaica and were
produced by legendary guitarist Earl 'Chinna' Smith
of the Wailers band, and Ziggy Marley and the
Melody Makers. IRIE TIME recently performed a
series of dates in Europe, and their prior release,
Live Up, took listeners stage-side with an
exhilarating live album. A collection of IRIE TIMEâs
songs entitled Reggae Hits Volume 1, along with
two videos, were released nationwide in the country
of New Guinea.
